8760 Hourly(subhourly) rate values being ignored was created by Neal Coady
I am using SAM 2020 11 29 and am having the following issue
I have selected 'use hourly ( subhourly) buy rates instead of TOU, and then populated the array with 8760 values.
On the 'energy charges' section below, the 'buy' column disappears, as it should. However the array of 8760 values is being ignored.
Whatever changes I make are not reflected in the 'electricity bill without system' total at all
Am I doing something wrong,? I have tried a few different models, - the purpose of my using SAM is so I can model against wholesale energy prices, and then use SAM to work out a battery charge/discharge strategy (price)
Many thanks
Neal

Hi Neal,

Thank you for reporting this issue. We will fix it for the first update to SAM 2020.11.29. Unfortunately, we do not have a workaround solution to this issue.

Best regards,
